The results of experience exchange seminar on bilateral cooperation

 

In December 2014 Society Integration Foundation in cooperation with Norwegian Embassy organised events to promote and develop bilateral cooperation within the EEA grant 2009 – 2014 „NGO Fund" in Latvia. The Latvian, Icelandic and Norwegian NGOs networking started on the 10 of December with reception hosted by the Norwegian Ambassador in his residence in Riga. On the 11 of December Society Integration Foundation organised the seminar „Bilateral cooperation within projects supported by EEA grant "NGO Fund" – impact and recommendations" within the framework of the NGO Fund programme in Latvia, part of the EEA grants 2009 – 2014. The goal of the seminar was to popularize bilateral cooperation within the projects and to find the benefits and innovative ways, how and why to cooperate.

What is the role of cooperation in nowadays? What are the opportunities of cooperation with Norway and Iceland? What are advantages and challenges of being a donor partner? These were just several questions which were discussed. Over 100 participants from NGO's from Norway, Iceland and Latvia, as well as different representatives from local and national institutions took a part in the seminar. Among the participants there were representatives of Norway Helsinki Committee (Norway) (www.nhc.no), Icelandic Human rights centre (Iceland) (www.humanrights.is), INTERACT Point Turku (Finland) (www.interact-eu.net), Blatt Afram -prevention of sexual abuse of children (Iceland) (www.blattafram.is), SOS Children's Villages in Norway (Norway) (http://www.sos-childrensvillages.org). Opening the seminar, Aija Bauere, Director of SIF secretariat, emphasized: "Within the current implementation period of EEA grant „NGO Fund" particular attention is paid to the promotion of cooperation between the beneficiary countries and the donor countries. It is important to recognize that the projects implemented in cooperation are real opportunities to better achieve the objectives of the projects, as well as gain new ideas for ourselves and exchange experience with others."

On September 27, 2013 the Society Integration Foundation announced the second open call for proposals under "NGO Project Measure" of the EEA Grants 2009-2014 programme "NGO fund" in Latvia.

Taking into account the positive experience of the partnership building event among Latvian NGOs and NGOs of Donor countries (Iceland, the Principality of Liechtenstein, the Kingdom of Norway) organized within the 1st call for proposals, the Society Integration Foundation plans to organize another partnership building event (partner search forum) on November 7-8, 2013.

In order to ensure participation of respective organizations from donor countries, the Society Integration Foundation kindly requests to fill in partner search template (PROJECT FICHE) and send it to the following e-mail address: partner.search[at]sif.lv no later than October 11, 2013. Completed templates will be made available on the website of the Society Integration Foundation and also forwarded to NGOs of the Donor countries.

Partnerships can be built in the following areas:

1. New innovative basic and welfare services to target groups - people at risk of social exclusion and poverty;
2. innovative social services and measures for children and youth at risk and families with children that potentially more often experience crisis situations;
3. measures aimed at embodiment and integration of the gender equality principle in all areas of life;
4. involvement of NGOs in activities facilitating accessibility to the rights of citizens (activities promoting acquisition of citizenship);
5. involvement of NGOs in promoting democratic values, including human rights:

• • ethnic minorities;
  • intercultural communication, promotion of tolerance;
  • elimination of discrimination.

The EEA and Norway Grants have entered into a strategic partnership with the Council of Europe to promote tolerance and fundamental rights. Activities countering hatred are encouraged through the EEA NGO programmes.
	In relation to the Council of Europe's No Hate Speech Movement, to which the EEA and Norway Grants are partners, the CoE has produced an education/training manual "A manual for combating hate speech online through human rights education" The manual is designed for educators in schools, youth workers and NGOs and is meant as a supporting tool for the No Hate Speech Movement. It contains general information on the campaign, ideas for awareness-raising activities related to the campaign and useful background information on hate speech and hate speech online
	October 24-25, 2013: The Spanish national coordination committee is organizing a national seminar in Mollina at the end of this month. Directed towards NGOs, experts and activists, this event will offer a good opportunity to pave the way for further collaboration between these different stakeholders.
	14-20 October 2013: European Action Week of Local Democracy The 'European Local Democracy Week' (ELDW) is an annual European event where local authorities from all 47 member states of the Council of Europe organise public events to meet and engage with their citizens on issues of current interest. There are obvious links between the root causes of hate speech and social cohesion, democracy and citizenship on the local levels, particularly when we speak about multicultural communities or exclusion of certain groups from the local community. Instead of an Action Day, we propose an Action Week! The message of this week is simple: We can make a change at local level, because democracy and equality starts with us all. Hate speech is often fuelled locally. Local democracy is, therefore, about global dignity issues locally.
	European Action Day for Victims of Hate Crime 22 July On 22 July the No Hate Speech Movement organises the European Action Day for Victims of Hate Crime and encourages people across Europe to commemorate and support victims of hate crime and to take action against hate crime. Recognition of hate crime and public awareness is an important part of the justice for victims http://www.nohatespeechmovement.org
	No hate speech website – launch 22 March 2013: www.nohatespeechmovement.org
	Conclusions on conference on accountability and transparency in grant-giving relations in Tallinn Oslo Conference on “Right-wing Extremism and Hate Crime: Minorities under Pressure in Europe and Beyond” (14-15 May 2013) - Chair's summary of conclusions Combating hate speech online – Campaign launch 22 March The EEA and Norway Grants have entered into a strategic partnership with the Council of Europe to promote tolerance and fundamental rights. Activities countering hatred are encouraged through the EEA NGO programmes. During the last few years we have registered continued and renewed violations of fundamental rights, including physical and verbal attacks on minority groups, migrants, and on organisations defending human rights in Europe. To address these concerns, the EEA and Norway Grants have joined forces with the Council of Europe and support the No Hate Speech Movement. This campaign against hate speech online starts on 22 March 2013 and will run through to 2014. The objective is to take action against hate speech online in all its form – while respecting freedom of expression. The No Hate Speech Movement is based on human rights education, youth participation and media literacy. EEA Grants support NGO projects NGOs in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain can apply for project funding to take action against hate speech through the EEA Grants NGO Programmes. Support to civil society is one of the key priorities of the EEA Grants, with NGO programmes worth a total of €147 million. Promoting democratic values including human rights and good governance, combating discrimination, intolerance, gender inequality and social exclusion, are central to the programmes. At least 10% of the funding is targeted to children- and youth-driven organisations and/or activities. NGOs are also eligible for funding under many of the other thematic EEA and Norway Grants programmes. This makes the Grants one of the prime funding schemes for civil society in Central and Southern Europe. What is hate speech? Hate speech, as defined by the Council of Europe, covers all forms of expression which spread, incite, promote or justify racial hatred, xenophobia, anti-Semitism or other forms of hatred based on intolerance, including: intolerance expressed by aggressive nationalism and ethnocentrism, discrimination and hostility against minorities, migrants and people of immigrant origin.

	Archive of Events October 9-11, 2013The Brussels Workshop for National Campaign Coordinators was a huge success, bringing together representatives from 28 countries. The event allowed NCCs and the European campaign committee to exchange expectations before the upcoming European Campaign Conference (7-9 Nov) and to gain deeper insight into the current state of play of the national campaigns.
